That's a good point actually. I'm still saving my pennies to send myself off to England while having enough leftover to eat occasionally so I couldn't buy a guitar even if I would be willing to carry it over the England. Probably around $300 range in any case, however I am also hideously cheap so I'd require someone to walk me out after paying that so I can literally weep openly on them.

You should find out if you'd like a multi-pup'ed guitar. Like myself, all I need is the bridge pup and a tone knob cranked. But, the ability to be diverse is dope.
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

You've already expressed a prediliction to more exciting colours and designs. This guitar is essentially beige.

It's a fine guitar though, so if you like the cosmetics I would go for it, it's a complete winner.

I personally can't get over the distance between the bridge and the bridge pickup. It upsets me.

Even more than the lack of cats.

Thanks for pointing this out. You have ruined this guitar for me, cause I always notice it now.

Hahaha, that photo is tops! And I think a Squier 51' would be a perfect geet for Corlimey or anyone on a budget!
They're really fun, highly modifiable and a great no non-sense rawk tool. (put in one of those sweet low-output liverpool humbucker for them indie bluez)
